360Flex Europe - Day 2

360Flex Europe day 2 is over and the conference is about to finish. Day three is underway. These two days has been incredible fun and intensive. I met a lot of people, attended great sessions but unfortunately I missed the dinner of yesterday night with some friends (for business reasons).
This is the list of sessions I attended yesterday :

• Raffaele Mannella - The benefits of a Rich Internet Application in Enterprise Environments
• Greg Wilson: LiveCycle ES, Adobe's Enterprise Backend Platform
• Sakri : Invalidation Routines, Pounded into Your Cranium Once and for All!
• Zohar Babin: kaltura platform - Open Source Online Video Editor Built in Flex 2
• Shashank Tiwari: Flex Integration Under a Few Emerging JavaEE Scenarios

Sakri's session was very interesting. Each time I saw a presentation about invalidation and validation routines I learn something new. Raffaele, my business partner, made an interesting session about  the financial aspects involved in  mesuring the retunr on investment of a Flex RIA.

Moreover I gave a last-minute presentation about the integration of J2EE and Flex using BlazeDS improvising some examples and demos. I think there was some problem with a missing speaker so Tom asked me to cover the session. It was fun and the audience (only a few people) were experienced Java developers so I felt at ease :)

At the end of the sessions we had great time with some of the spekaers and some other friends having the aperitive in Milan outside the hotel (the hotel is very expensive for drinking ;)).

Hey Marco, thanks for filling in on the special Blaze DS session. It's awesome to just have such great speakers willing to volunteer and teach a session when some attendees need it. You're the best!

Ciao Marco,

I've attended your session and it's been great! Even if I took some notes I missed a lot. Could you post your slide because I hadn't find in the USB key.

Grazie
Roberto
